To enable visual observation and X-ray analysis of a sample irradiated by an electron beam, a heat-protective assembly overlying a sample-supporting surface includes an enclosure with a central window for the electron beam, a surrounding annular window for light rays and a pair of lateral windows for X-rays emanating from the sample. An inner shield has a frustoconical body, with generatrices converging toward the supporting surface, which gives passage to both the light rays and the electron beam while screening an area surrounding the annular light-transmissive window of the enclosure without, however, blocking the passage of the X-rays. A set of deflecting plates for the electron beam is mounted on the inner shield, between its frustoconical body and a diaphragm forming the central window, in a zone between the paths of the light rays and the electron beam.
